SPINACH BAKED ZITI

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS⁠
⁠1 pound Ziti pasta
2 tablespoons Olive oil
16 ounces fresh baby spinach
1 small onion chopped
6 garlic cloves chopped
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
48 ounces jarred marinara sauce
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese (fresh off the block)
15 ounces Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan divided
1 large egg
2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley

INSTRUCTIONS⁠

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

2. Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook ziti noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside. Drizzle with olive oil to keep noodles from sticking together (optional).

3. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for an additional minute.

4. Stir in the marinara sauce and spinach. Remove from heat.

5. In a small bowl, mix together ricotta, egg, parsley, ¼ cup of Parmesan, and 1 cup of Mozzarella .

6. Spread about a cup of sauce evenly over the bottom of the baking dish. Layer half of the noodles and top that with ricotta mixture and half of remaining sauce. (For the ricotta, you can just add dollops evenly over the noodles as it likely won't spread easily).

7. Continue layering: remaining noodles, remaining sauce, remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan.

8. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes until lightly brown on top. Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

MAKE AHEAD
Follow steps 1-7. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Set on counter 30 minutes prior to baking.
